NSPJ Report 2011

The 2011 National Symposium on Pretrial Justice convened by the Office of Justice Programs of the U.S. Department of Justice, together with the Pretrial Justice Institute (PJI), highlighted the major shortcomings in current pretrial release decision-making practices and showcased efforts to improve those practices.

The Symposium brought together representatives of associations from a broad array of stakeholder groups, including law enforcement, judges, prosecutors, public defenders, jails, and victims, as well as county, state, and federal legislative and executive branch officials, and private funders. The Summary of Proceedings provides a summary of the Symposium and recommendations for improving pretrial justice for all. You may also wish to own a full-length video of the event.
